Harvest

First melon harvested! The frogs did their job keeping the bugs down. I’ve been monitoring the bottom of this one and noticed a crack. But it was an untouched area, no sign of insect nibbles.

Burst melon

I freed it from the vine and sling and gave it a wash, then sliced it up. So good! It will probably be even better when it isn’t 100 degrees. A few hours in the fridge should do it, but we couldn’t wait to sample. I’m saving the seeds!

There are several more in various stages of development. Yum.
